Layered into the dual-density core of Firewire's STEP UP gun, SPRINGERS are like a suspension system, providing the optimal amount of flex and drive needed to control the higher speed and heavier torque in larger waves.  Like the leaf springs and shock absorbers of a speeding car, SPRINGERS work in tandem with the Parabolic Balsa Rails to maintain smooth control through high speed turns.

The Technology
Firewire Surfboards’ Future Shapes Technology features controlled flex memory with rapid rebound.  The parabolic balsa wood rails flex at the start of a turn storing energy and rebound through the turn, releasing built up energy in the form of speed.  The spring back of the parabolic rails to the original rocker triggers rapid acceleration, like an arrow shot from a bow.  Combined with the composite materials used in Firewire’s sandwich construction, parabolic balsa rails reduce material fatigue and ensure that the board maintains its long-lasting “twang.”

The Materials
Using expanded polystyrene foam cores, high-density foam outer skins and high-tech epoxy resins, Firewire surfboards are up to 20% lighter than traditional polyurethane foam boards, and maintains its “new board” liveliness 5-10 times longer.  Furthermore, the use of parabolic balsa rails and composite materials reduces premature denting and material fatigue.

NOTE: Though many boards come clear (no design), colors and/or designs may vary - the image shown is for display purposes only.  Such variations affect the prices of individual boards – please call for details on the one you are interested in.

Also, due to non-standard (oversized) packaging, surfboards are shipped by a different carrier and incur additional shipping fees.  When ordering a surfboard, please select Ground shipping – the stated fee will NOT be charged to your card.  The actual fee will be calculated once the board has been packaged and weighed, and you will be contacted prior to our charging this fee to your card.
